Pilot

George, Sr. is heard instructing his assistant Delores on which documents to shred. However, we learn in Visiting Ours that his fiercely loyal assistant is Kitty. CONTEXT

Top Banana

During the fake previews, the banana stand is supposedly rebuilt on Newport Beach, but you can see a sign labeled “Fisherman’s Village” and “Marina del Rey,” which is where the show is actually filmed.

Bringing Up Buster

The school play is “Much Ado About Nothing,” but the line they act, “I would kiss before I spoke” is from “As You Like It.”

Key Decisions

During the introduction of the staircar, a camera is visible in the wideframe shot.

Pier Pressure

Buster says he needs marijuana because Lucille 2 doesn’t use medication. However, in In God We Trust, Buster wanted to play poker betting his anxiety pills against Lucille’s vertigo medicine.

Beef Consommé

George Michael visits his grandmother Lucille, but he is actually seen knocking on Lucille 2’s door.

Altar Egos

Michael says Lindsay repeated the ninth grade. However, in Top Banana, their yearbook photos imply they graduated the same year. (Thanks to Rob Pursley.)

Missing Kitty

The water coolers are labeled “H. MADDAZ” in the flashback, but “H. MADDAS” when Kitty hangs onto them in the final scene. Arguably, the first scene uses the “Z” so that “SADDAM” is more visible in the mirror’s reflection.

Tobias complains to George, Sr. that he’s been in the Bluth family for 16 years; however in Marta Complex, Tobias and Lindsay had just celebrated their 14th anniversary.

The One Where They Build A House

The narrator says the Bluth family “prepared to unveil Phase Two,” however, in Staff Infection, the Bluth Company was working on Phase Three.

Kitty has lost her lopsided breasts from Spring Break.

George, Sr. is photographed at the frozen banana stand opening in 1963; however, in Pilot, the banana stand opened in 1953. CONTEXT

George, Sr. is photographed at the completion of the Orange County Prison in 1983; however, in previous episodes, shots showed the prison opened in 1903.

Queen for a Day

The Narrator says Michael dropped off Lucille 2; however, in the scene prior, Michael had agreed to call her a cab. CONTEXT

Spring Breakout

The Narrator says it was Buster’s first taste of alcohol since he was nursing; however, in Altar Egos, Lucille says she couldn’t breast feed any of her children because of George, Sr.’s nipple tweaking. (Thanks, MadeAHugeMistake.)

Development Arrested

The S.E.C. boat is clearly labelled “Sheriff.” CONTEXT

The subtitle says “twenty minutes later” but the clock only changes from “7:43” to “7:44.” (Thanks, Habitue.) CONTEXT

I’d like to correct Spring Breakout’s gaffe because in Sad Sack, Michael says to Oscar, "This is the nicest she’s been since she found out that Rosa could breast feed Buster."

I’d like to correct the Pier Pressure gaffe because Lucille was trying to fight her anxiety without the use of pain medication. She was trying to be strong and prove to Buster she wasn’t a stodgy old coot. Buster was going to hide the marijuana in her food because he was tired of her fainting all over him.

Who is older: George Michael or Maeby?
When Buster is supposed to be going off to war and Lucille is upset, she says to GM ’you’re going to have to be the baby of the family now.’ And GM says, ’Maeby is younger than me.’ Then in a later episode, GM throws Maeby a surprise 16th birthday party. In the final episode, however, Michael says that GM can’t date Maeby because although not blood relatives, they are still family, and also because he is only 15.

I’m so confused by all of this!
